Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
As suggested I am submitting more details in order to see if any of this resonates with anyone.
From a review of World Families DNA we hit a very close match with a William Cochran (1822-1877). When we compare within a Wright surname DNA we were categorized as Other, no close matches with any of the main line Wright families.
The World Families gave a Kit No of 240019 for William Cochran, no contact info. Our Haplogroup is I1-M253. Again, William was the closest match at only 1 marker difference in the 30+ available. Others in the same Lineage are: Samuel Cochran (b. 1772 VA); Samuel Cochran (d Wilkes or Oglethorpe, GA); James Cochrane b abt 1765; Richard Cochrane b 1852, d 1943; James Cochran 2-1878 Moores Hill, Dearborn, IN.
I am not sure how we tie in with the Cochran line, perhaps adoption, second marriage, etc.

Looking for a connection between my Wright family and Cochran. According to
my DNA we are closely associated with some Cochran's, especially a William
Cochran born abt 1822 in PA and died in the 1870s in IA.
The earliest Wright I have is gggrandfather Eli Wright. Not sure where he
was born but his son, my line, was born about 1860 in IN or MI...name was
Charles Riley Wright...he died 1902 in IA.
Any leads appreciated.
